1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

FML, was at the playground with Sofia and Dex. Start feeling something cool splashing my leg, look down and Dex is taking a huge leak on the fence pole I'm leaning against and dousing my leg with his dick liquid

 

That was...a unique way to describe your experience

 

And the Girl Scouts set up a stand right at the end of our street...I rarely ever carry cash but as luck would have it, I blacked out and ended up back home with 6 boxes of Tagalongs.

 

Ok so, is it odd that this only started after we had Theo?

I know women go through all sorts of stuff having a kid but man...affects dads too huh

 

No I've been addicted to Tagalongs since...probably since my sister sold Girl Scout cookies as a kid. Those things are dangerously good

 

In Boy Scouts we sold that Trails End popcorn door to door, that stuff was really good too...don't think I've seen it in years though

 

Talking about suddenly getting home with tons of snacks, more than your normal amount

For me it's Thin Mints, Tagalongs, and Raspberry Rally...and although I don't buy Samoas, I'll eat a number of them

 

hmm maybe, Rebecca's always been more of a snacker than me, I don't really go out of my way to buy snacks but I'll eat them if there. But Tagalongs are a must have

 

Those Werther's I got your ass...they're still here uneaten

 

Bet if I invited someone really old over, they'd devour them in a sec

 

Maybe he thought you got stung by a jellyfish!?

 

That's because you had those peanut butter M&Ms which will always take precedence over werthers

 

Oooh

 

Been awhile since I use my cnc table, bandsaw, angle grinder, and welder all at once



Got 1" wide flat stock and 4" wide flat stock but no 2" wide oddly enough so I cut some out on the table

Just need to cut some 4' long panels for the sides, 2' long panels for the ends, and weld up some angle and it's done



Square within 1/32"

 

Any of you fellers have experience with the 4cyl Ferd 2.3? I know they’ve had quirks in older stuff, apparently been solved, anyway, supposed to drive a 2 door Bronc Tuesday. Don’t see the upside of a 6 for these in a smaller, simpler spec tbh.

 

Just the older 2.0 Ecoboost

Was reliable for the 40-50k miles I beat on it with a big turbo

Hear the newer Ecoboosts are shit but no personal experience so can't say

 

I heard the ones in the older Focus weren’t great but less issues these days with the new 4cyl. I hate having to learn about new shit

 

That's what I had as a daily, was supposed to stay stock since we had the Mustang I had bought my ex (before the 5.0) as well as the Z06





The stock turbo I yanked out, little TD03



Much bigger 60mm turbo; had it tuned for 91 for just a few ponies under 300whp





Later got meth injection and a tune added for E85 and it was a torque monster at about 400lbs; all thanks to Freektune (they specialize in the Mazdaspeed and Ford ST platforms)

 

From what I’ve heard, the 2.3 is the one to get. The V6 has a habit of dropping valves apparently.
